## About Rod Goebel

Rod Goebel (1946–1993) was an American artist and painter. Linked authority records from VIAF, IdRef, and Wikidata consistently identify him and establish his nationality and life years, although the available public source pack does not provide exact birth and death dates or a detailed institutional biography. IdRef also links Goebel bibliographically to a memoir concerning the Santa Fe and Taos art colonies, but that reference alone is not enough to assign him to a specific movement or school. Collectors primarily encounter his name through paintings and matched public auction records. Appraisily currently tracks a substantial auction history under his name, including priced sales across a wide range of dates and values. Because the documentary biography remains limited, identification should rest on the individual object's signature, inscriptions, provenance, medium, and comparison with securely attributed examples rather than on name matching alone.

## Common works and media

The authority evidence specifically identifies Goebel as a painter. Appraisily's auction index also groups matched records into paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture or mixed media, and decorative art or editions. Because those category labels are broad and the source pack does not document a catalogue of Goebel's oeuvre, painting is the best-supported work type. Items assigned to other categories require closer verification of medium, authorship, signatures, edition information, provenance, and auction-house attribution.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched market index reports 160 public auction lots under Rod Goebel's name, including 120 priced records from 2001 through 2025. The observed results span approximately $100 to $20,550, with a reported median near $1,800 and many comparable results between about $950 and $3,200. These figures describe the collected record rather than predict the value of a particular work. A useful appraisal compares works of similar medium, size, date, subject, condition, attribution, and provenance. Signatures, inscriptions, restoration, exhibition history, and catalogue references may also affect comparability. Reported results can treat buyer premiums differently, while private sales, incomplete feeds, and attribution revisions may be absent.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Public results are starting points for research and do not replace authentication, condition review, or an individual appraisal.
